01x02 - Metamorphosis

[bunniefuu]

RAD:

From out of nowhere,

two giant mechanical beings

appeared in the desert.

Bitter enemies

from an ancient time.

Now their feud has begun again.

Earth is the new battleground.

How do I know all this?

I was there.

My name's Rad.

And little did I,

or my two friends,

Carlos and Alexis, know,

but we were about

to play a major role

in this battle's outcome.

( rumbling )

Well, I guess

we're trapped in here.

It looks like

the exit's sealed.

( whimpers ):

Mommy!

BILLY:

Hey, take it easy.

We'll find a way out.

Come on. Pull yourself together.

( suspenseful theme playing )

( grunting )

I want the Mini-Cons.

Mini-Cons?

Huh?



( beeping )

Come on, Alexis.

We've gotta get out of here.

( both gasp )

( dramatic theme playing )

What? What is that?

( gasps then screams )

( grunting )

( gasps )

( grunts )

Carlos!

( screaming )

Huh?

Huh?

( suspenseful theme playing )

( all grunt )

It's a showdown.



Come on. Follow me.

( beeps )

( gasps )

( dramatic theme playing )

( gasps )



RAD: Run for it, Alexis!

Come on,

let's head for the cave.

( all panting )

( grunting )

( Demolisher grunting )

( Demolisher groaning )

Hmph. What a weakling.

Huh?

( Megatron grunting )

Give it up, Megatron!

I'll be back.

Huh?

Hey, where'd they go?

OPTIMUS:

Autobots! Front and center.

Yes, sir.

Are you all right, sir?

Yes, but we're all

in great danger.

We can't let Megatron

get hold of the Mini-Cons.

I know. They're using

Short Warp equipment.

So they must have a base

set up somewhere near here.

( dramatic theme playing )

They're up there.

Hmm.

( snoring )

( gasps )

CYCLONUS:

Welcome back, Megatron.

I trust your mission

was a success.

Uh-- Huh?

Sir, were you able

to get the Mini-Cons?

Uh...

Mm...

Oh.

MEGATRON:

Quiet, you incompetent fool!

Starscream,

you scanned the planet.

Did you detect

the Mini-Con ship anywhere?

Well, perhaps it was destroyed.

Maybe Cyclonus would have

better luck finding it.

Sir, allow me.

I just know

I'll be able to pinpoint

the Mini-Con's

exact location.

I would be greatly honored

if you'd let me.

Very well. Go ahead then.

Oh, thank you.

I won't let you down, Megatron.

You had better not.

If you do, I'll have you

dismantled for scrap.

Then I'll launch what's left

of you straight into the sun.

Understand?



Uh-huh.

You had better get to work.

Oh.

I think we'll be safe

down in here.

Don't count on it.

Hey, what do you mean?

Alexis?

Rad, it's so obvious.

Those robots are definitely

gonna come looking for us.

They will? But what do

they want with us anyway?

It's him they're after.

Aw, come on, dude.

They don't want me.

( gasps )



( beeping )

Not you.

Huh?

It's that little robot

there.

That's what they want.



You really think so?

I'm pretty sure of it.

Are those other robots

after you?

( beeping )

Hmm.

RAD:

I think he likes you, Alexis.

So do you understand

what he's saying?

I haven't got a clue.

( Mini-Con beeping )

Hey, now where's he going?

Hey! Come back!

Huh? What kind of cave

is this?

( door whirring )

Ah! We'll be trapped

in here.

( beeping )

If we can't get out of here,

then they can't get in.

What? Well, it's true,

isn't it, Alexis?

Sure,

but we're still trapped.

Our mechanical amigo

wouldn't lead us into danger.

He's on our side,

remember?

( beeping )

I hope you're right.

( dramatic theme playing )

( gasps )

Aw! A spaceship!

ALEXIS:

Hey, Carlos! Wait for us!

RAD:

This is what he's been trying

to tell us all along.

So he really is

from outer space.

I bet he came

from some distant galaxy

a long time ago

to escape those big robots.

Maybe they used

small robots like him

to increase their power

or something.

His ship must have

crash-landed on Earth,

and now

they've tracked him down.

Wow. You think so?

That's the only reason

I can think of

why those big robots

would come after him.

Let's see if I can get

some more info

from this ship's computer.

( beeps )

Rad, What is that?

RAD:

It's, uh, Megatron.

It says here he's leader

of the Decepticons.

He's the one we saw

fighting in the desert today.

( Mini-Con beeping )

RAD:

That's Optimus Prime,

leader of the Autobots.

ALEXIS:

Yeah, I remember him.

He tried to help us.

( Mini-Con beeping )

Autobots.



Huh?

Their goal is peace

in the universe for everyone.

Autobots?

Mini-Cons.

You are hiding from me.

But I will find you.

Hmm?

( beeping )

CARLOS:

What's gotten into him?

( Mini-Con beeping )

Something's wrong.

He's going haywire. Look.

( whirring )

Huh?

What is it?

( dramatic theme playing )

( beeping )

Huh?

Hmm?

Of course.

( gasps )

Are there more of them

out there?

Ah!

Hi, little fella.

( buzzing )

Hey, guess what.

He understands me.

He does. He really does.

Are you sure? This one's

not reacting to anything I say.

Aw, his batteries must be low.

Maybe he needs to be recharged

or something.

What's this?

( chuckles )

I've found one.

A Mini-Con was right

under my nose the whole time.

( grunting )

Oh, it's perfect.

And it's my old Mini-Con.

Leader One.

( Megatron laughs )

It's so good

to see you again.

Oh, the things

I have in store for you.

( grunting )

Fred. We made it.

We got out

of the rotten cave.

( sighs )

Um, Billy?

Hmm?

Look. What's that?

Aah!

BILLY:

Oh, it's nothing.

Just a giant footprint!

( both scream )

( soft dramatic theme playing )

Huh? What's up?

Hey, looks like the juice

is back on.

( beeping )

( both gasp )

He's a skateboard.

( buzzing )

ALEXIS:

Check this out.

( Alexis chuckles )

( beeping )

Oh!

ALEXIS:

These little robots

totally rock.

CARLOS:

Yeah, I get the feeling

they're going to come in handy.

RAD:

Hey, let's take them

for a test drive.

MEGATRON:

How do you explain this?

CYCLONUS:

I can't, sir.

You were unable

to locate this Mini-Con

when it was right here

all along,

and you don't even have

an excuse?

( whimpering )

Sir, it's my circuits.

They've been overloaded

lately.

Shut your mouth,

you worthless piece of junk!

You're so lucky.

I should melt you down.

Oh, I'm so tempted.

But I need you right now.

And do you know why?

The Mini-Cons!

Uh...

I promise

I won't fail you again, sir.

No, you won't.

( snickering )

MEGATRON:

What's so funny, Starscream?

Um, I'm sorry, sir.

Observe the power

of this Mini-Con.

This should inspire you

to work harder.

Go ahead.

( whirring )

( gasps, screams )

( grunts )

( Megatron laughs )

MEGATRON:

Now do you understand?

( Megatron continues

laughing )

DEMOLISHER:

Megatron!

Huh?

DEMOLISHER:

Uh, sir, uh,

what happened in here?

MEGATRON:

Demolisher! What do you

have to report?

DEMOLISHER:

Uh, yes, sir.

It appears two more Mini-Cons

have awoken down on Earth.

I have pinpointed

their location.

Hmm. Two more.

Cyclonus, you will lead

our recovery team.

Uh-- Sir!

What?

What is that?

Sir,

what have you done here?

MEGATRON:

I've modified your designs

when you switch to vehicle mode.

And once we have

the other Mini-Cons,

you'll be even more powerful.

Hmm.

OPTIMUS:

No sign of the Decepticons yet,

but I'd better run

a thorough scan just in case.

( humming )

( hums then gasps )

( beeping )

( truck engine starts )

( upbeat theme playing )

All right! Yeah!

( Rad & Carlos cheering )

RAD:

Oh, yeah!

Hey, guys!

Aren't these Mini-Cons

the best?

Hey! Check that out!

I never knew Alexis

was such a speed demon.

Oh, yeah? Well, you want

to see her eat my dust?

Go for it!

( laughing )

Whoo!

( all shouting )

All right.



Yeah!

( Alexis laughing )

( all screaming )

Unh! Oh, no!

Transform!

Vehicle Mode!

Transform?

ALEXIS: Rad! Look out!



Huh?

( dramatic theme playing )

CYCLONUS:

Transform!

We're surrounded!

( gasping )

RAD:

We're history!

( Megatron laughing )

( truck horn honking )

( grunts )

CYCLONUS:

Now what?

( gasps )

Huh?

OPTIMUS:

Get in.

( both gasp )

Come on.

Let's move it.

( Rad gasps )

Alexis.

Hey, come back.

( thud )

CARLOS:

Oh!

( all screaming )

( Demolisher grunts )

( all scream )

( truck horn honks )

( grunting )

( Demolisher screaming )

( tense theme playing )

Huh? All right!

( groans )

( grunts )

DEMOLISHER:

Help! Somebody!

STARSCREAM & CYCLONUS:

Megatron, help us!

Get those Mini-Cons,

you fools!

OPTIMUS:

Transform!

( upbeat theme playing )

Whoa, cool!

( engine roaring )

( tires screeching )

HOT SHOT:

Transform!

( siren wailing )



( laughing )

RED ALERT:

Transform!

( exclaims )

RAD:

Here they come again!

( upbeat theme playing )

Transform!

Don't worry, High Wire.

You and the other Mini-Cons

are gonna be all right now.

( beeping )

RAD:

Wow! The Autobots

saved our lives.

Hey, they might need my help

while they're here on Earth.

If they do,

I'm ready to return the favor.

You were looked

a little rusty, Hot Shot.

Would you give me a break?

I'm still getting warmed up.

( upbeat theme playing )

Ready, Autobots?

HOT SHOT & RED ALERT:

Yes, sir.
